I am a long time devotee of Phil Perry, but was put off, sometimes, by the gymnastics he used 2 use. Gone is that tendency! Now, he's pure magic 2 listen 2. If u like supa smooth jazz voices,(i.e.Luther, Will Downing, etc), check him out. He's a well kept secret, but not here in Detroit. We know.

The "Pavarotti of Jazz," as Downbeat Magazine described him, Phil Perry has outdone himself once again... not an easy task after his acclaimed 2007 release A MIGHTY LOVE garnered him "Male Vocalist of the Year" honors in the Soultracks.com 3rd Annual Readers Choice poll. Mr. Perry's newest release, READY FOR LOVE, is masterful and I can't imagine it being anything short of a smash hit album. One listen to the first radio single, "Desire," seals the deal... and that's but one of eight passionate, romantic, soulful Phil Perry originals and two killer covers (James Taylor's "Shower the People" and the Bacharach-David classic "Walk on By") that he knocks out of the park. Oh, and if a wedding is in your future, "The Strings of Love" absolutely needs to be on your song list! READY FOR LOVE has just the right balance of Old School familiarity and new century freshness to be totally captivating, and that signature Phil Perry voice is still hitting 4 to 5 octaves after 40 years of performing... it continues to be nothing short of breathtaking! I've been enjoying Phil Perry's work for years, both recorded and in show-stopping live performance, and READY FOR LOVE is, without question, his best work yet! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN

I`ve been a fan of Phil Perrys music for a while and each cd seems better than the last. I thought nothing could top his cd "MAGIC" well I was wrong. Ready for love is a well rounded cd of love, mood and feel good music. Its a disc that is wonderful background music for diner parties,music that will make people say "who is that",music that can put MEN in the mood to romance thier women. I strongly suggest you buy this disc and Magic too.There are only a few artist that really produce great music and phil Perry is one of them.

Phill Perry is one of music's public secrets! He is versatile performer with great writers and one incredibly soulful voice. One cannot loose with Phill Perry.

Phil Perry. No more need to be said. With his latest release, Phil has just upped his game another notch and proven why he's the best in the music biz and why he's so good at what he does. His vocals are awesome and the songs are tailor-made for his voice and style. Certain songs always are played over and over, but on a whole, this is another beautiful effort from someone who cares about his craft. DIGGIN' THIS DISK, PHIL!!!

The very BEST. A light and smooth sound for the heart. Phil Perry is, as always just what you need. Ready For Love will make you READY FOR REAL LOVE.
